How to Install CyanogenMod on the Motorola Droid RAZR/RAZR MAXX (CDMA) ("spyder")

This guide will walk you through the process of taking the Droid RAZR/RAZR MAXX (CDMA) from stock to having a custom recovery image and the ability to flash the latest version of CyanogenMod.

Note: DISCLAIMER

Modifying or replacing your device's software may void your device's warranty, lead to data loss, hair loss, financial loss, privacy loss, security breaches, or other damage, and therefore must be done entirely at your own risk. No one affiliated with the CyanogenMod project is responsible for your actions. Good luck.

Note: You can copy the .zip packages to your device using any method you are familiar with. The adb method is used here because it is universal across all devices and works in both Android and recovery mode. If you are in recovery mode, you may need to ensure /sdcard (sometimes called Internal Storage) is mounted by checking its status in the Mounts menu. If you have booted regularly, USB debugging must be enabled.

If you are not already in recovery, boot to recovery mode now.

Power and at SafeStrap splash screen press Menu key within 10 seconds

In Team Win Recovery Project, select menu choices by tapping on the appropriately labelled button.

Optional (Recommended): Select the Backup button to create a backup.

Select Wipe and then Factory Reset.

Select Install.

Navigate to /sdcard and select the CyanogenMod .zip package.

Follow the on-screen notices to install the package.

Optional: Install any additional packages you wish using the same method (if you are installing multiple packages, install CyanogenMod first and then install any subsequent packages on top of it).

Once installation has finished, return to the main menu and select Reboot, then System. The device will now boot into CyanogenMod.
